Yes, I am sorry that he has so many diagnoses, and that you have obviously both been through so much, @Shaz51 . I have never asked, but do you have any MI yourself?

I'm sorry today is so dark, Lee... You seem to be able to talk OK today, or is that hard too? I'm guessing maybe hard, but you're making a special effort as it's your last day here?
I have got to know you these past few months. I can think of lots of things to wish for you and for your wellbeing. It's kind of like praying except that I'm not religious. More like sending you good things, or the wishes for good things to surround you. Not sure if that makes sense. So it's OK if you can't think of anything.
I am holding up for the moment, thanks, although I'm pretty sad.

I understand. You are doing really well, talking, if today is really hard to talk.
